' A good soil is the material basis for prosperity in the South and to be kept good our soils must be kept supplied with humus. What Is hu mus? It is partially decayed vege table matter. In other words, it is the interred remains of plants. In order to have good soils, plants must have grown and decayed on the ground for years prior to 1 bur culti vation of it. Plants 'growing and decaying on the soil dp not exhaust it," but on the contrary, improve it. The first and last aim of the farmer should be to get more vegetation ; buried . in his soil. Prof. G.

Editors: There are com ing into my onlce, and I presume to you also, so many inquiries as to where to get soil for inoculating land for crimson clover, vetch, alfalfa, etc., that, I ask of you space to give the information. I There are two methods of inocu lation, one by "cultures," the other by soil taken from a field in which has grown the crop to be inoculated. If one wishes to try the culture, I think it can be had by writing to the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington, D. C, stating the kind of seed wished inoculated, also the quantity. However, the culture method is not as sure as the soil method and where one can procure the soil easily it is better to rely on that source -for inoculation. If one can get 'soil from a neighbor It is tetter to do so than to get It from a distance and have to pay freight and other charges. But many are unable to get soil from neighbors be cause the crops have not been grown in the neighborhoods. It is for those that 1 am especially writing. Through the courtesy of Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director of our test farms, he will sell soil for either of the above named crops at 50 cents per 200 pound sack, 'delivered f . o. b. cars at shipping point, the purchaser to pay freight on the soil. This price merely pays for the expense of get ting the soil, sacks, and taking it to the depot two miles away. No profit at all is figured in this price and Dr. Kilgore is not Inviting orders, but offers to fill orders simply as an ac commodation so as to Induce our peopU to try the legumes. ! All orders for this soil should b sent to R. W. Seott, Jr., Rocky Mount, N.: C, R. R. 6, accompanied T'ith the nroDer remittance. Don't Duy Until You Get This DoeU!'
